This might not apply to trusted vendors as I would be happy to do business with them
I posted a few spots, freelife1 scammed me of $150 MP and said he'd send the coins. Well as soon as he got the MP code he was gone and his forum account also, now shows guest.
NEW PEOPLE, and generally good people who want to trust... this isn't a place for that. USE the trusted vendors, pay the fees, and get quick service with ALL the money you were expecting. minus some fees of course.
DO NOT do a deal through the forums, or elsewhere, unless its a seriously trusted vendor or you will get scammed, like me.
You are warned!
I won't consider it too much of a hit, wanted to load up for the sales this weekend but I guess I will only be getting some of the products instead of the bonanza I was planning. I'll be ok. Just want others to know where to do biz and feel safe.

I am really sorry this happened to you, looks like someone else got scammed for their MP funds by doublemint. Even more suspicious, the person who vouched for doublemint was freelife1...hmmm.
I have further thoughts on the subject but I will reserve my judgement for later.

We might be thinking the same thing regardless it really sucks and I want to have others avoid it (helped one by PM already)
I had a little wine, some vals, a cig and im still fucking pissed that asshole stole $150 from me. freelife1 if you're reading this. i hope the karma gets ya, its a chameleon, it comes and goes! lol but seriously f u man. build up tons of posts, do small favors then your big hooray is 150. couldnt believe it at first. thats sad. hope you really need it that bad. It's putting me in a real bad spot, i dunno if you understand people here arent just with habits but addicts and I need some shit soon and ill just have to go by other means to get my 150 which makes my life a fucking hell.

This is how we really are, deep inside, but some human minds are messed up through life and go the other way.

man i still can't stop thinking this is my fault. i vouched for him and i got a person fucked. i am so sorry man. im not like that in anyway. my second time ordering i got fuckin scammed by that prick gummy-stars for $100.00 i was still new and i finalized early. but thats neither here nor there. the fact of the matter is i got you ripped off and i plan to get you some coins back out of my pocket. im loading more coins later this evening and ill try to give you at least $25.00. i know it isn't much but im poor as hell right now. but i want to give you something. as i said before. i am very sorry this happened to you, and i hope you and the rest here understand this was not my intention. i thought i was helping out both parties.

First- Tony, wow that is unexpected and super beyond appreciated. I trusted you in the beginning and it worked and now you are still here for me. My heart thanks you a lot.
Second- Rowdy, it is not your fault, but mine alone. It was his trickery that set up multiple accts and did small things here and there to get others on his side. But his big gain was $150. We all know he is same as doublemint (who btw offered me a g of tar through the forums BS!) and probably made a new name as we speak.
So I am trying to warn everyone, don't deal with people on forums despite their cool post counts and savvy knowledge. They are out to get you, like I said he's already got a new account and looking for someone to grab from.

Threads like this make me wish i had more to contribute to the community. Would be nice to readily be able to help out a fellow forum browser when they get ripped off. Sorry it happened, it happens to all of us. Ive been ripped off at least 500$ over the past 5 months of using Silk Road. 90% of it happened when I was new to the website a while back but I have been victim to moneypak steals as well
Hopefully you can bounce back from the loss!
-
Doublemint, huh? Are they gone, now, as well? I am just curious, as doublemint posted on a few of my threads. Never made any offers, other than fronting me coin to get a sellers account up, but I declined.
I would sketch giving out my addy on the forums, unless of course, it's a trusted vendor, or Tony76 ;)
Tony76 should get an award for that offer, btw! Side note: Tony was my 1st and only early finalize....and he didn't fuck me. Just so y'all knows.
Sorry you got fucked, Chief.
I don't think it's a newbs rite of passage to get fucked, either. I now have 9 successful transactions, 1 early final, and have not got fucked, in fact, just the opposite. Hooked up every time. Although some wine, nicotine, and such didn't calm you down, I'm willing to bet that .5 of h will!!
-
Well, I was scammed by a legit vendor. I finalized early, it was my fault... It was my 1st purchase and now I hope that it won't happen again.
-
Karma has always and will continue to prevail.
Tony was one of my first buys and I believe his first sale. I finalize earlier because he believed in karma and trusted him. It worked out great. (BTW he had great H and was looking to try mdma but of course now that will be next month.) I already told him I will get the coins back slowly perhaps but surely.
I do wish I had the means to help those unfortunate. Especially when sticking necks out to be in this community. To be scammed is the worst. I've had 10+ successful deals on SR, most thru SR or super trusted vendor and they all went GREAT. But being sweettalked on the forums is something to beware and wanted to warn the others.
I will bounce back, much to the help of the super great guy Tony. And when I'm back on the ups I hope to pay it forward to someone.
sorry to hear about your story cutekitty usually the legit vendors have good threads and good feedback on SR. you would be the first I wish I could pay it forward.
-
There are some good people in this thread. It makes me happy. :)
Now, if only we could kill all the scammers in some unnecessarily violent and public way...
-
Yea, it's really unfortunate that so many people come out and screw shit up around here. Surprisingly enough many of my early transactions went well, but I got scammed a couple of times more recently, which is surprising to me. I suppose that's what I get for being desperate, eh? I'll be sticking to escrow as often as possible...
-
With more than 10 successful orders the only time I got scammed was using a MP card with that scammer SR Discount Pharmacy. I knew it was a dumb move but at the time he had great feedback and had been a vendor for a while. Because of this I was foolish and went against my better instinct. I just couldn't wait a few days more for some BitCoins to come through and wanted to buy NOW! Only lost $100 but learned my lesson. The difficult part though is that this had been a great vendor, and could potentially happen with any one. Not to say there aren't some vendors who have earned our trust, because there are, but even then you never know what could happen in the future. So now I always stay in escrow.
